It’s home sweet home for the Dodgers – who come home for two games against the Braves beginning with Game 3 of the NLDS Sunday night with the series even at a game apiece.

Two rookies will take the mound in a matchup where anything can happen in a road atmosphere where the Braves are automatically the underdog, going 40-41 outside of Turner Field, leaving them as the only team with a losing record on the road.

Mike Minor was bad luck in September for the Braves – which was reversed in Game 2. Could the same be said for Ryu tonight? The southpaw went 1-3 in September but with a 2.88 ERA, all thanks to getting only five runs scored by the Dodgers.

Teams outscored the Dodgers 9-5 in the stretch and it wasn’t Ryu’s fault.

He faced the Braves twice and fared well. He didn’t factor in a decision in either game but in holds a 2.13 ERA, throwing in 12.2 innings and allowing three runs on 11 hits.

What’s troubling is the 11:6 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Credit that to a May 17 outing at Turner Field when he pitched 5.0 innings and allowed two runs on five hits, walked five and struck out five.

The five free passes are the most he has allowed in a start this season.

Fast forward to June 7 in the second start, this time at Dodger Stadium, and he was fantastic – pitching 7.2 innings and allowing a run on six hits, walking one batter and striking out six.

Which Ryu can we expect to see tonight?

Take this lightly but in four postseason starts back in Korea for the Korean Baseball Organization he was winless.

I’m nervous about today’s game, I’m not going to lie. After studying the scenario I found that the last time a team won Game 1 on the road, lost Game 2 and then swept at home was the 2005 Houston Astros.

If you remember history the Astros were an 89-win team that took the favored Braves out in the NLDS including an 18-inning game to eliminate them, then took out the Cardinals before falling to the White Sox in the World Series.

But let’s talk Dodgers. Both pitchers should be nervous but unlike the crowd at Turner Field, the atmosphere at Dodger Stadium will be raucous and should get to Teheran as he makes a few mistake pitches to give the Dodgers a shot to jump on the Braves.

Look for the Dodgers to cash in when it matters as they take Game 3 and look to close the Braves out tomorrow night.
